Gary 
“Excellent location and everything is exactly as stated, would 100% stay here again”
- Gary, April 2024 -
Anthony “Fantastic property and location, tidy and very warm.”
would love to stay again.
- Anthony, January 2024Jeremy “The Property is a nicely laid out house, great spa and very cozy in general.”
The table tennis in the shed is a great touch. Unfortunately as per many of the other reviews the mattresses on the single (definitely not king single for 2) are very poor quality and one of the double beds is far past its retirement age, definitely not set for a good sleep, please take the repeated feedback onboard as this really needs addressing! The BBQ was extremely dirty and had to be stripped and cleaned before use. If you are a group of 8 the kitchen does only have a double cooker but a good enough size otherwise. Great location.
- Jeremy, February 2023Jon “Another spectacular experience at the Purple House.”
We will almost certainly be back for the Goat in 2024. Thanks heaps.
- Jon, January 2023Kerri “We had a really great time staying here.”
We travelled with 4 adults and 2 kids. The kids beds were pretty hard and uncomfortable, but they didn't seem to mind. The BBQ was out of gas, but we were able to work around it. The spa was great! Nice and close to town and the mountain. We would stay again (as long as us adults dont have to sleep on the kids beds haha).
- Kerri, September 2022Wendy “Great bach with great location.”
I regard myself as an optimist and not usually someone to complain on public platforms. So hoping this would be see as constructive feedback rather than a complaint. We didn’t have an amazing stay. We had some issues and miscommunication regarding linen, no fire wood, heater not working in the coldest room and no gas in the bbq. It stole quite a bit of time from our holiday as we had to call customer service each time- mainly because no direct contact option with holiday manager was available. Once we got through to customer service and once they got hold of the Holiday manager she did sort us on some (not all) of the matters and was very friendly but the process to go through is not pleasant. Also very uncomfortable double beds- we ended up sleeping in the lounge as a result. The kitchen only has two small induction stove plates- something to keep in mind if you’re preparing a meal for 8 people. We had to cook dinner in batches and couldn’t even use the bbq as no gas. Nice bach and location but a few things could be done to make the experience more enjoyable.
- Wendy, September 2022Great that you enjoyed your stay at this wonderful bach and we appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback which will be addressed - thank you! Bachcare

The hole family really enjoyed the stay.
- Petra, July 2022Leanne “We loved our stay.”
Great house, will definitely stay again. The little sleep out was great for the teens and the beds were super comfy.
- Leanne, July 2022Chelsea “Nice cosy house in a central location.”
Family friendly and nice hot tub!
- Chelsea, April 2022Lisa “The Purple House is a great space .”
.. warm, relaxing and comfortable - ideal for a memorable getaway. Plenty of parking and easy to get your gear unloaded and loaded up again. It has good privacy from neighboring properties, great wifi range and plenty of space. Would definitely stay here again.
- Lisa, March 2022Angela “We found the beds old and firm a good upgrade is needed.”
The general cleaning of the batch was pretty poor .The batch has a great location and really beautiful layout
- Angela, January 2022Jon “We love this place and hope to be back again in 2023.”
- Jon, January 2022Joshua “Awesome place!”
! The little spa area is adorable. Thanks for a great holiday.
- Joshua, January 2022Manish “Not good experience not value for money very old mattresses can't sleep whole night”
- Manish, August 2021Thank you for your review, Manish! As discussed privately we're very sorry to hear that you weren't satisfied with the property's mattresses. This is usually subject to personal preference and we're sorry that they weren't to your taste. We hope we were able to make up for the inconvenience caused with our Holiday Manager's visit to assist you as well as the compensation amount offered. Bachcare
Jason and Vicki “Thanks for allowing us to stay at your property and for giving us the opportunity to create awesome memories with the kids - fantastic week so thankyou :) Great property - everything you need and more - great setup and awesome location - teens grabbed the train from Auckland and walked down the hill to the purple house - while the adults took the car and with a few detours - we arrived at the purple house at the same time!”
- Jason and Vicki, July 2021Katie “This was a wonderful and restoring stay in Ohakune.”
- Katie, April 2021Braden “This property was perfect for us and had everything we needed.”
The hot tub is an absolute bonus, we highly recommend this place for a very comfortable stay in Ohakune!
- Braden, April 2021Glynis “The house was clean, warm, and had everything we needed, and more.”
Our group of seven were all well catered for (bar maybe a too thin mattress on one of the single beds). We loved the hot tub after our day-long rides and appreciated the spacious garage and parking. Thank you to the hosts.
- Glynis, October 2020Warren “Great place to stay in Ohakune.”
Was true to the description and photos. Has an awesome view of the Mountain on a clear day!
- Warren, October 2020RICHARD “Great.”
- RICHARD, March 2020Greg “Purple house is a very nice comfortable house.”

- Kelvin, September 2019Samantha “The Purple house is the perfect place to stay for your snow trip.”
Great location in Ohakune, spacious house for a group of friends or families and the spa is amazing after a day on the slopes!
- Samantha, September 2019Rhian “A great property for a family get together.”
It's close to the mountain and a walk to Powderkeg. The Spa pool and Ping pong table provide entertainment on wet days and the fire keeps everything super warm.
- Rhian, August 2019Vicki “Lovely home, our family enjoyed our stay here and would love to return again.”
